Vivaldi Browser Snapshot

Best browser ever when sync was possible, now it looks much like a dead end. Tried everything I could, but no help seems to be available. I had to export bookmarks from my phone to populate my new laptop. A modern browser should not be like this. Linux & android, both stable and snapshot, just will not do anything sync related. Last week I thought it might start functioning when it asked me to reset my encryption password, but that is all that it ever did. Just complete failure and frustration.

Finally, a Chromium-based browser with working, encrypted sync that doesn't use Google. There are a couple of problems, however: LastPass sees Vivaldi as an app, not as a browser, so it doesn't take the URL into account and therefore offers no accounts to log into. And there's no easy way to allow third-party cookies on a per site basis. That said, the return of proper sync alone after years in the Brave wilderness makes the switch worthwhile, but it's only on the desktop that Brave comes into its own, with web panels, tab stacking and tiling, built in window capture, sending of tabs to remote devices, and a very detailed level of configurability.

You can tell a lot of thought went into developing this app. It has everything toggles to move back and forth between webpages, media player with volume and brightness control, to easily accessible bookmarks. I've downloaded just about every browser in the store and this is by far the best. Edit: I have to take back a star bcus the adblocker isn't aggressive enough.
